The Villas of Edgerton: Home to Huddersfield’s Victorian Elite by David Griffiths
Original photography by Andrew Caveney
Published 25th June 2017
Privilege, power and privacy were of the essence in Huddersfield’s elite suburb. This illustrated history of the district’s development and its grand houses documents their Victorian and Edwardian residents’ leading roles in trade and industry, politics, education, churches, sport and more. It includes a house-by-house tour of Edgerton’s architectural heritage, still remarkably well-preserved in a mature wooded landscape.
164 pages, 21cmx21cm, paperback.
ISBN 978-0-9956328-1-3.
£12.95 + £2.50p&p for UK addresses (please ask for overseas prices).
